Mosquito Life Cycle. Mosquito, After Feedings. The length of the mosquito life cycle varies between species and is dependent upon environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture. However, the life cycle of all mosquitoes is comprised of the egg, larval, pupal and adult stages.Male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar alone, while females extract the blood of hosts in order to develop and nourish eggs. Most mosquitoes lay their eggs directly into water.Others lay their eggs near bodies of water but not within them. Eggs will hatch into larvae within 24 to 48 hours.Larvae soon grow to become approximately 5 mm in length.Most larvae breathe through air tubes. Larger larvae can be seen floating just above the surface of infested waters.osquito Life Cycle. Mosquito, After Feedings. The length of the mosquito life cycle varies between species and is dependent upon environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture. However, the life cycle of all mosquitoes is comprised of the egg, larval, pupal and adult stages.
Eggs are passed in the host's stools. The eggs hatch into larvae in 1 to 2 days under warm, moist conditions out of direct sunlight. The larvae grow in the stools and/or soil for 5 to 10 days until they become filariform (fi-LARE-i-form), or threadlike. It is during this stage that hookworm can cause infection.
